Issues : Inaccuracies in FC
b. 1

composition: Op. 28 No. 12, Prelude in G♯ minor

The fact that the mark was placed in FC (→GE) further probably results from an imprecise notation of A, in which the 3rd L.H. crotchet is under the 6th R.H. quaver, since its initial version was crossed out (it was probably a G-d fifth). Consequently, due to the mark being so close to the next mark, it seems that the pedal encompasses the entire bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FC |

In A (→FC) the L.H. part is marked in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 3. When expanding on that abbreviation, both FE (→EE) and GE omitted the accent, probably considering it to refer to the R.H. However, Chopin would actually associate accents with the L.H., which is proven by the notation of b. 12, in which the accent is put over the L.H. chord. In FC, unlike in A, the accents in b. 1-3 are placed closer to the R.H. part, which somehow justifies the omission of the accent in GE, but not the addition of a staccato dot in this place. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: GE revisions , Abbreviated notation of A , Inaccuracies in FC |

The abridged notation of these bars in FC creates confusion in the application of performance marks – accents, cresc., pedalling. We assume that the notation is compliant with the notation of A (except cresc.); however, GE interpreted it differently – the accents were omitted, and the pedalling marks were repeated. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FC |

The pedalling of GE resulted from the vague, abridged notation of these bars in FC – see the note above. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FC |

B. 10 is written in FC in an abridged manner as a repetition of b. 2, and the cresc. indication present therein was written in b. 11, perhaps to remind us that the dashes concern that very mark. GE, however, considered that version binding instead of the indication in b. 2 (10) and reproduced it literally, omitting the beginning of the crescendo in b. 10. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FC |
